Patton Oswalt? I thought he had a libertarian streak in him. Oh well, not entirely surprised.

I googled Jello Biafra. Middle aged certifiable nutbag rocker.

Who cares what he thinks, unless he’s holding a gasoline can & matches?

I thought he had more brains than that.

He dumped Apple and went to work as a middle school teacher, how smart is that?

Apparently, he thinks it’s more important to pump leftist BS into young skulls full of mush.

They are our societies elite. They will be immune to the nasty effects socialism will have on the nation as a whole.

Wow...

Belinda Carlisle from the Go Go. I thought she was a Republican but I guess she decided to go to the dark side.

I have considered, from time to time, going out to a movie so I can get out more, but after seeing this, I think I’ll simply stay home.

Good thing these 128 didn’t live 55 years ago. Mr. McCarthy might have had a few strung up by their thumbs.

This list is excellent, I always get all of my political advice from people named "Jello" and "Flea".

Just like I look to "Ripper" for medical advice and "Suitcase Vinnie" from my accounting needs.

I lead an interesting life. /s

So being a foul-mouthed, shrill, and immature attention-seeker is all it takes to be a "cultural leader" and an "artist" these days. It used to be that you actually had to have some talent or ideas, nowadays grade-school level vulgarity seems to be enough.
